New hard drive

[katrina warsaw]

You don't need to buy a new hard drive for that. It depends on if you have
or not free space in /dev/sda.
If you don't then go for buying a new hard drive, if you do then use
gparted for reducing the size of partition where you have /home and you'll
get new free space unpartitioned. With that , you can make a new partition
, ext4 type, for the / new 12.04.
